Slow News Day and the Return of the Funkasaurus

So I am still a little slow to post lately. I just haven't felt the juice or the ambition and have not been getting home early enough. Excuses excuses.

I went to the Vikes game on Sunday. I was a little upset at the game. Not with the fact that the Vikings lost, but the disturbing way the speakers in the Dome were swaying because of the wind outside. I have never seen Volkswagen size speakers move that much over the heads of so many people. I had to stop looking at them, watching them move that much was making me sick. My imagination as you know gets really wild sometimes as you may have figured out by reading my posts.
So I started figuring out all the ways the wires and chains could snap and which way the speakers would go if they came down. I decided I should stop that as well, it was making me sick.
Thank you Summa Tech( the Science Math Technology program in my high school) all that geometry and astrophysics and gravity crap paid off.



Sunday was a slow news day. You know how you can tell when a slow news day is happening? When the biggest story in the news is the high wind in Mpls. I was over a friends house watching the news and we both laughed at how cheesy the tag lines were for each reporter's live report.
"Blow me down and shiver me timbers" "Minnesota Blows" "Who needs a hairdryer, just step outside" As you can see those were pretty cheesy lines. No, they weren't said on TV, but were used to demonstrate the point.
Then we realized how nice it was to have a slow news day. There wasn't any mention of people being killed, no fires to report , just some power outages (I know 10,000 people without power is bad). I think a slow news day is just fine, even if I have to put up with cheesy reporters.

It was just my imagination...running away with me - The Temptations

The Exorcist, Damien Omen 2, Prince of Darkness. These movies all had one thing in common. Crows and crow elements. As I was driving Stinky(The Benz) home, down 7th street I was stopped at a light. I looked up and I was next to a Church that is near HCMC (remember the emergency room post?) Anyway, there were about a million and 2 Crows sitting on top of the church and in a barren tree across from the church. It was very creepy. I honked the horn and they didn't budge, not a one. They looked at me defiantly. I was glad when the light changed.


Last thought....
I was listening to KMOJ's old school Sunday night show. Now I know how my parents feel when they hear old songs and it takes them back. I am not saying that I am getting old, just saying I know how they feel. :)
They played some cuts that made me want to go back in time. Stuff I forgot I knew the words too. It made me feel really good inside, all warm and fuzzy, ahem! but in a manly way. (How 'bout them Bears!!)
I remembered my first High School dance. The slow cuts, who I danced with ( awwwww yeaaaaaahhh!! ) and the watching a big football player do the Popeye. A dance that we all did back then. I am sitting here trying to do it now and it's not working. Maybe a little Wiki Wiki by Nucleus would help. If you would like to hear some "Jam On It" let me know. I got the hook up.
